As the use of rawhide has faded, new and creative chews like dried sweet
potato have emerged. Another newcomer is the
Himalayan Dog Chew. These are preservative-free and
made of cow and yak milk. And although raw dairy products are known to
cause doggy digestion issues, many cooked cheeses are commonly used as
training treats.
This product is not made to be attractive, but
instead to appeal to a dog's natural urge to chew while avoiding the
potential health and safety issues of rawhide. Whereas many rawhide
replacements don't stand up to a tough chewer, Himalayan Chews are very
hard without being prone to fragmentation. And according to the
manufacturer, this product is actually a human grade product.
